    Shooting Back in a Mumbai-type Attack

    I'd get my head down, find the nearest escape route, and let the authorities handle it - that's what they're there for. First rule of a gun fight: Don't get into a gun fight. Second Rule of a Gun Fight: Get out of one as soon as possible. Third rule of a gun fight: Don't lose.

    The question of "need" as pertains to firearms

    I always say this: I had disposable income that needed to be disposed of in an interesting manner. It was either guns, video games, or hookers&blow. I went with the one that could be used as a paperweight when I got tired of it.

    Why are ammo prices still high?

    Plus, much of these developments happened in the last few weeks. It'll take a bit before we see adjustments.

    Gun ownership in France -- still active

    Wow. Even though I lived in France for a while, that was before I became interested in firearms. Good to know that if I ever decide to move there, I can at least enjoy some of the same stuff.

    .50 Beowulf for Bear Defense?

    My biggest concern is the name: Beowulf means Great Bear. Thus, if I killed anything chintzy, I'd be embarrassed to show my face. I'd have to go swimming for days and nights just to make up for it. ;)

    Were these guns ever imported into the US?

    Garands can be easily converted to full auto? Umm... citation needed.

    S&W Model 22A - A Good Buy?

    I've been looking to add another .22 pistol to my collection. I currently have a Walther P22 that I greatly enjoy, but I'd like something with a bit more of a "target" focus. So far, the pistol that's been showing up in the local shops with the best price/features has been the 22A, both new and...

    Ridiculous gun prices at Charlotte gun store

    Colissimo's in Philly - home of the $400 dollar Hi-Point, along with a zillion other guns that were way, way overpriced. Also, the store is rather dingy.

    Walther P22?

    Indeed. It truly amazes me how one little .22 pistol can evoke such ire. Hell, my Colt 1911 had more problems in its first 500 rounds than my P22 (that is to say, none for the P22, some stovepiping on the 1911). To hear some speak, you'd think it ran over your dog and then flipped off a...

    What 1911's do you own?

    Currently, I own a Colt Series 80. I want a Rock Island Tactical that I can futz around with and turn into a project gun - tech/tac it out with all the fixings... and maybe turn it into my carry gun.

    Walther P22?

    I've owned a P22 for three years - it was my first gun. It's a terrifically fun, utterly ergonomic pistol that just feels right in your hand. I love it for introducing new people. Its internals are a smidge more complicated than they probably need to be. I got mine for 279 bucks. Now, they go...

    .22 Handguns For $250-300?

    I ran into a S&W 22A with a 5.5" barrel for 200 bucks. Good deal?

    Thieves Steal Olympian's Shotgun

    Yeah, do remember that no matter how awesome her "job," is, that's how she puts food on the table. Indeed, what the one thing everyone says about their job, no matter how good it is? "I hate my job." Except Gresham. His job is way better than anything else in this world. ;)

    Unintended Consequences

    I read UC last month due to all of the hype on THR. It was a bit of a fun read, but also quite frustrating. Ross had a maddening tendency to swerve between good, solid midlist drama and some pretty rank purple prose. As a result, I had bouts where I would consider taking the book back to the...

    Is The President Subject To D.C.'s Gun Laws?

    I'd imagine that that's limited to crimes of the office (high crimes and misdemeanors). I have a feeling that if the POTUS decided to haul off and bash somebody's face in with a baseball bat or shoot somebody in the face in full view of the public, DCPD would have something to say about the...

    "Just Give Me A 2nd" slogan design

    Um... I also doubt that any of the cheerleaders on the sidelines need T's, O's, U's, C's, H's, D's, O's, W's, or N's when they ask people to give them one, but the sentiment is probably the same.
